Maxim Rate

Maxim Rate launched her career with a win in February of her 3-year-old season and followed that up with a nose defeat in the Grade 3 Providencia Stakes two months later. She returned to the winner's circle on May 4 in the Grade 3 Senorita Stakes at a mile on the Santa Anita turf.

Maxim Rate was unplaced in her next five starts, four of them graded stakes, to close out 2019. She returned to race at age 4 in June 2020 and finished second in an allowance optional claiming race, and then posted a half-length win in another allowance optional claimer on July 20 at Del Mar.

Back to her best form, Maxim Rate subsequently won a listed stakes at Del Mar in August and finished second in the Grade 2 Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita in September. On Oct. 25, she tallied her second graded stakes win with a 2 ½-length score in the Grade 2  Goldikova Stakes at Santa Anita.

Maxim Rate finished fifth in her final 2020 start, the Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes, and then fifth again in her first start at age 5 when sent east to contest the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland. Upon returning to California, she unleashed a career-best effort to take the Grade 1 Gamely Stakes at Santa Anita with a late run under Juan Hernandez. 

Maxim Rate is a daughter of Exchange Rate out of the Unbridled's Song mare Catch My Eye. She was purchased for $235,000 as a yearling.
